Cover Story: A slender, soft robot was designed and tested in a swimming experiment in a still-water tank. The robot employs soft pneumatic muscles activated with a rhythmic input. The system was modeled as a fully coupled fluid–solid interaction (FSI) system. The experiments show successful swimming, and the proposed mode analysis algorithm allowed the modeling and explanation of the fluctuation. The results disclose the presence of traveling waves related to anguilliform waves obtained via the superposition of two main modes. The similarities of the results with natural anguilliform locomotion are discussed. It is concluded that soft robot undulation is ruled by dynamic modes induced by robot–environment interactions. View this paper
